Chi Alpha @ Stanford

After back-to-back guest speak­ers, Glen hops back in the sad­dle tonight with a mes­sage about “A New Life of Freedom.”

Don’t miss it! 8pm in 300–300.

UPDATE: Easter party pho­tos are now online

Hey everyone–Paula and I are hav­ing an Easter party at our place this Sun­day at 5pm. We’ll have pizza, easter eggs, and lots of candy!

Just in case you were won­der­ing, we will not be whip­ping the Easter bunny.

Chi Alphans,

I’m think­ing of going to see Shaolin Soc­cer tomor­row (Sat­ur­day) at a mati­nee.

I’ll either go at 1:15 or 3:20

Any­one inter­ested in com­ing along?

Chi Alpha in North­ern Cal­i­for­nia and Nevada is help­ing to spon­sor OneThing in Vacav­ille April 15–17.

We’re only going to be there on Sat­ur­day (and pos­si­bly Fri­day night), and so we’ve got a $10 dis­count off of the reg­u­lar price of $35.

In addi­tion, we’re run­ning a work­shop track there we’re call­ing Into the Real World for seniors and grad­u­ate stu­dents. We’re bring­ing in a team of Sil­i­con Val­ley exec­u­tives and recent col­lege grad­u­ates to help you tran­si­tion beyond graduation.

Reg­is­ter online (you’ll need to cre­ate a user pro­file prior to registering)

Note: the $10 dis­count only applies to Chi Alpha or other rec­og­nized Assem­blies of God min­istries. I know this is online and any­one can see it, but please act with integrity.

Wel­come back–hope you had a great Spring Break (and I also hope you didn’t appear in any videos you’re going to regret…)

Any­way, the national direc­tor of Chi Alpha, Den­nis Gay­lor, is going to be speak­ing at our group this Tues­day at 8pm in 300–300 (details).

And next week Curt Har­low, one of the best com­mu­ni­ca­tors in Chi Alpha, is going to be shar­ing with us!

And if you’re really good, you might even get to meet Glen & Paula’s new baby!

If you’ve got­ten out of the habit, be sure to jump back into Chi Alpha this quarter!

This Tues­day night (3/9/2004) is the last meet­ing of the Win­ter Quarter–finals are just around the corner!

Since most every­one is feel­ing stressed out, it seemed appro­pri­ate to take a look at what the Bible has to say about stress. This Tues­day night we’re going to med­i­tate on Psalm 4, and see what the warrior-poet David had to say about han­dling diSTRESS.

As always, things kick of at 8pm in 300–300.

Mel Gibson’s movie The Pas­sion of the Christ opens tomor­row. By all indi­ca­tions it will be one of the most-watched movies of 2004, but I’m sure it will con­fuse a lot of people.

It’s going to be con­fus­ing because it focuses on the last 12 hours of Christ’s life with­out giv­ing the con­text of the first few decades.

If you’re curi­ous to know a lit­tle bit more about why Christ died and why peo­ple are still talk­ing about it thou­sands of years later, come to Chi Alpha tonight at 8pm, down­load the MP3 archive of the mes­sage (or browse all our MP3 mes­sages).

We’ve got some great retreat pho­tos uploaded:

1) my shots
2) Shaowei’s pics
3) Nathaniel’s pho­tos

Andrew has picked out his favorites.

Well, we’re off to Col­lege Win­ter Retreat this weekend.

See you later!

Paula and I are hav­ing a crab boil at our house this Fri­day at 6pm.

If you’re plan­ning to join us, email or call and let us know so that we can buy the right amount of food.

It is really impor­tant that you let us know if you’re com­ing. We’re only buy­ing crabs for those who respond.
